Civ leader pass12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() Corporations mode is still bugged, for instance, which sucks extra since you paid extra for it not to work (plus it was one of the most anticipated game modes, so it's a portion of double extra bad sauce!) I don't expect meaningful improvements to AI at this stage, but I do expect fixes to the bugs. It will always be CIV VI with its specific limitations, but bugs shouldn't be a part of that. Russia too but it's hard to feel too excited about playing Russia these days.- Civ VI gets sufficiently polished. Willem van Oranje: I like Wilhelmina's inclusion in the game but any alternative to Radio Oranje as an ability would be welcome.Īnd, of course, Japan, Spain, and Rome could all have fun with new leaders. Not the most effective ruler historically, but a fascinating figure (in keeping with the "Big Personalities" maxim for Civ 6 rulers) and there could be an interesting mechanic in Religion/Loyalty akin to Eleanor's culture/loyalty ability. One of the Rashidun could be cool but possibly thorny with Shi'a Muslims (I might be off-base about that, though.) Saladin's ability is very interesting and the civ well-designed but I think there are a lot of different ways that one could go here. Bonuses for those "makeshift alliances" perhaps?Īrabia: Harun al-Rashid most likely. ![]() We're not going to get Angela Merkel before some hypothetical Civ XII 50 years from now, which means Bismarck. Germany: I'd really love to see a Peacecraft-focused Germany, since there are at least a couple of notable examples from history and it's a more interesting and, well, positive aspect to celebrate than the warcraft side, in my opinion. There are worse things on earth, honestly.Īs for other leaders I'd like to see, or at least would find interesting: So really I have no idea here.Īs for this Leader Pass pushing back Civ VII, I'd take it more as a sign that Civ VII is taking longer than expected, and that being the case, here are some ideas to tide us over. Elizabeth is one of those rulers who can pretty much go in any direction they feel would make England more interesting. I still like Cleo though.Įlizabeth I: Honestly, if we're getting another English ruler just give us Liz Truss so I can player her on Marathon speed, please? I kid, I kid. Ramesses seems like he'd probably be a builder/conqueror? Hard for me to guess how they'd make that fresh, but a new Egyptian option will be good to have. I'm on the "pro-Cleopatra" side of things, honestly, though I understand folks not being wild about Egypt currently only being represented by a Ptolemy. Which could make for a very powerful, and flexible, ability if that's the route they decide to take. (I suspect this is why we haven't gotten him since they moved from Leader Traits to LUAs, honestly.) If I wanted to wildly speculate, I'd guess they'll use the "Team of Rivals" aspect which has become noted in recent years (thanks to the Doris Kearns Goodwin book of the same name, obvs) and do something with Governors/Governor Promotions. Lincoln: Another one that's tough to predict based on what he's famous for. There's potential for that to translate into game mechanics, of course, but how that will synergize with the CUA will be interesting to see. Maybe since it's so late in the game cycle they don't care about Civs getting pushed, though, and 2.) Anna's historical role was rooted in her diplomatic strengths. Absolutely no clue how they'll implement her as a leader, since 1.) Kongo's CUA is really strong, and only really balanced by Mvemba's malus against religious victory. Lots o' thoughts and I'm not fully caught up on this thread yet, so apologies if I cover something already discussed to death.Īnna Nzinga: Oh me of my this is awesome news. ![]()
